Fab book alert
Saturday, January 10th, 2015
Well would you look at this! My brother (who doesn’t know a sewing needle from a frog) bought me such an insightful present for Christmas that I’m a bit flabbergasted to be honest. It’s a little black book called Famous Frocks, The Little Black Dress and it’s by Dolin Bliss O’Shea. There are 10 different dresses to make and each one has variations to choose from, giving 20 garments in all – and patterns are included for each one. Each dress is inspired by a fashion icon – Coco Chanel, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Princess Diana being amongst them. It’s a lovely looking, very chic book and I’d say it’s aimed at the intermediate level sewer. There’s not one single dress that I wouldn’t make, but to start with I’m going to try the Mary Quant number that’s modeled on the cover . The book is available on Amazon – if you like little black dresses, get your hands on this beauty. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
A very useful sewing site
